The Gigantamax Snorlax Max Battle Day Ultra Ticket Box will be available for US$4.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) and includes an event ticket and a bonus Max Particle Pack at no additional cost.
Max Mushrooms
The Max Mushroom is an item that temporarily amplifies the Fast Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Max Move attacks of your Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon in Max Battles. While active in a Max Battle, your attacks will do double damage until the item timer runs out. Using multiple Max Mushrooms consecutively will lengthen the duration of the effect, but it will not increase the damage multiplier.
Remember to check your Item Bag while in a Max Battle lobby and use any Max Mushrooms you’ve acquired. You can also see whether other Trainers in the lobby have Max Mushrooms active.
Campfire
Campfire makes it easier than ever to find both Max Battles and other Trainers to help you take them on. View nearby Max Battle and Flare activity within Pokémon GO by tapping the green icon under the compass in the top right of the map view, and check out meetups online on the Campfire Map!
